Singapore team develops mobile ECG machine

A team of Singaporean researchers in the private sector has developed a portable and affordable electrocardiograph (ECG) machine.

The machine - known as the CP50 - is the first of New York-based medical diagnostic equipment maker Welch Allyn's products to be designed and developed in Singapore since it started operations here six years ago.

It was first launched in the United States in February 2010.

The CP50 is mobile and can be battery operated, which allows doctors to take it to patients' homes.

Diagnosing coronary artery disease involves several tests including an ECG. Coronary artery disease means that plaque has built up on the inner portion of the coronary arteries. If you have this build up, your heart works much harder in order to maintain normal blood flow and volume throughout the body. An ECG measures electrical impulses and therefore can detect changes should plaque build up be present.
